*[http://smarts.lcsr.jhu.edu/CAI-Workshop-2008 Official workshop schedule] from [http://smarts.lcsr.jhu.edu/ Johns Hopkins SMARTS Laboratory website]
*Location: Kimmel Center, Room 406, New York, NY 
*Date: Saturday, September 6, 2008 
*Time: 9am - 6pm 
<br>

The goal of this workshop is to establish a forum for discussing open source toolkits and open interfaces and how they have been applied in the development of computer assisted intervention systems.  The intent is to establish a dialogue between the open source community, industry, and researchers in the field.  The workshop will include presentations and panel discussions about: 1) existing open source toolkits, 2) open (research) interfaces to medical products, and 3) integrated systems for computer assisted interventions.

One outcome of the workshop will be a technical paper (white paper) that will be 
submitted for review to the [http://www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/rcs International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery]. If completed by Oct 2, 2008, the paper will be considered for a special issue on ''New Technologies''.
